> Since almonds, have there been any more major losses
> reported that were caused by CCD?
Bob Harrison submitted a short answer, "Yes." I requested of him more
details and he responded to me personally, "A beekeeper in Kentucky lost
his bees after almonds for one. Typical CCD symptoms he said. Boiling
with bees and then no bees and only large areas of sealed brood. Some
small amount of young bees with queen.
Bees doing poorly on the comb. He called asking for advice. I have spoke
with others. One so far in Missouri. Picking up deadouts each week."
I was a bit confused, as Bob wrote on Monday, "Hopefully CCD is over,
done, finished!"
I suspect CCD will continue to make headlines.
